"I am not sure what problem the OP is trying to mitigate."
Bingo.
Further, if you can figure a cure, will the OP comprehend what you're telling him?
J M Sokol is his best bet.

At least ECN must come pretty high in the Google standings: he came here.

The OP is also a perfect example of how difficult it can be to translate civilianese to electrician-speak ... and vice versa.
It's that latter point that's the show stopper. The average Joe is going to cross-confuse virtually everything you have to say.
That's dangerous when electro-shock is a possibility.
Civilians will do stuff that would never enter an electrician's head. You tube is filled with such bloopers. It's amazing more amateurs aren't killed.
Problem I'm trying to mitigate: the coaxial splitters go bad after about an hour of being plugged in. Replace the splitters, then an hour later, internet connection is dropped permanently. comcast sent their line techs to the house to verify that no voltage was entering my house from their lines. The electrician(s) came by and verified that they are seeing 8 volts unaccounted for. As I stated, and as implied by my username, i am no electrician. Just grasping at straws. That's why I provided the summary from the electrician, because I knew I couldn't accurately describe the problem using the appropriate jargon. And yes, I wouldn't likely understand any resolutions that were provided here. However, the "op", while an amateur, isn't an idiot, so I'd never try anything with electricity that I wasn't sure of. There's a difference between civilians and morons. FYI, fios came out yesterday to install their internet, which is a direct line with no splitters. No issues so far, fingers crossed.
Lastly, I do appreciate all the responses.
